I woke up a little before 8 and didn't get up until almost 10. There wasn't anything for me to do until I had the lawnmower bolt. I had breakfast and surfed until a little before noon. The only thing I accomplished was putting the 6A DeWalt battery and the sprayer battery on chargers.
I called the lawnmower place. After a brief hold they hung up on me. I called again and was on hold for over 15 minutes before I hung up in disgust.
I decided to drive there. When I got there the guy at the counter was on the phone apologizing to someone about the phone system. Apparently they have a new one today and it isn't working worth a shit. I got my parts and went back home.
I reattached the belt cover and replaced the clipping chute. It was 1, but I decided to "mow a little" before lunch. That turned into a two hour mowing and cleanup session. The sharpened blades seemed to work better and the clipping chute really seemed to help. Some of the grass in the middle of the side yard was so thick and tall that it almost stalled the lawnmower motor. Blowing all the clippings off the gravel, front walkway, sewer outlets, and front brick area used all of the 6A battery. I was done a little after 3.
I went back inside and had lunch followed by a late lunch. Then I sat in the recliner and watched TV. I may have napped. It feels damn good to have the lawn stuff complete. I still have to spray. After that there are a couple of broken tree branches (and maybe a dead tree) that need to be removed. Then I'm done.
Ellen fixed steak on the Traeger. It was really good. After dinner Yo called. I talked to him for quite a while. He wants to rent out the condo.
When he hung up I noticed that Hooch had called earlier. The phone hadn't rung. I called him back. We had a fairly long conversation just catching up.
The rest of the evening was surfing.
